The Barbell Base

Feeling for those who missed qualifying times, PR’s etc. the disappointment is real. Despite that all, it was awesome to see how many people showed up to challenge themselves and achieve goals

Lunges v spilt squats

There’s lots of different vernacular for different exercises.

When we are talking about lunges and split squats at the base, we mean two different but similar exercises.

Both are valuable and have their place in a well-rounded program

Scapular CARs 🏎️

CARs = Controlled Articular Rotations.

The goal is simple: move your shoulder blade through its full available range of motion, slowly and with control.

Think:
⬆️ Elevation
➡️ Protraction
⬇️ Depression
⬅️ Retraction

No rushing. No huge arm movements. Just controlled movement of the scapula.

A simple drill to improve shoulder awareness, control and mobility.

Save this one for your next warm-up.

Exercise helped me beat depression and is still so important for my mental health. This has been a crazy week and so I’m trying to prioritize still getting exercise in even though I’m busy enough it’d be easy to let it slip.
